The primary tactic employed by priests eager to accommodate themselves and the Church to modern science and evolutionary thinking is predictable. It is the argument that evolution is entirely compatible with the Bible when we see Genesis, especially the first three chapters, in a non-literal, non-historical context. This is the argument embraced and advanced by mega-church pastor Timothy J. Keller.

With a position paper Keller published with the theistic evolutionary organization Bio Logos he joined the ranks of falling stars (Catholic and Protestant priests) stretching back to the Renaissance. Their slippery-slide into apostasy began when they gave into the temptation to embrace a non-literal, non-historical view of Genesis.

Along with questionable characters such as Leonard Sweet, Tim Keller has signed on with the Global Church Learning Center: http://globalchurchlearningcenter.com/

GCLC is offered by Billion Soul Network http://globalchurchlearningcenter.com/about

Through many twists and turns, BSN is ultimately traceable to the New Apostolic Reformation church growth network and its ‘new’ super apostles, prophets and prophetesses.

It’s my hope that the pastors, teachers, etc. that have signed on are uninformed as to the true nature and intent of the global network behind the Global Church Learning Center.

Any hypothetical “theistic evolution” would have to be well soaked with miracles to get it to go anywhere, by the lights of the physics and chemistry we know today. One would have to call it something like 999,999,999 parts miracle to 1 part nature. And it isn’t just in retrospect we see providence here, we also see it ongoing, which proves that it’s providence and not some stupendous dumb luck. Because dumb luck does not plan!
